DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO MOBBING IN COMPARATIVE LAW: ANALYSIS OF WORKPLACE HARASSMENT AS A PSYCHO-LEGAL PATHOLOGY

Abstract

This study examines workplace mobbing as a global psycho-legal pathology, framing it as a “hidden pandemic” with severe consequences for individual health and organizational well-being. Utilizing a comparative law methodology, the article analyzes and contrasts the "treatment protocols" developed by various legal systems. The analysis identifies distinct approaches: the specific, "prescription-based" model of France; the proactive, "prophylactic" model of Sweden; the holistic model of Belgium; and the fragmented, "symptomatic" models found in Common Law systems and Türkiye. A key finding is the superior efficacy of legal frameworks that prioritize prevention over purely reactive, punitive sanctions. The study argues for reconceptualizing mobbing as a legal "syndrome," requiring a holistic diagnostic approach. Consequently, it recommends that Türkiye enact a standalone anti-mobbing law focused on mandatory psychosocial risk analysis and other preventative mechanisms to foster healthier work environments.
